[quote=Anonymous]He is currently a junior. So he has some time. Tell him to man up and start developing relationships with teachers. If his teachers are halfway decent they should still have a sense of who he is and his work and be able to write a recommendation even if he is quiet. But he should still make an effort. I was an introvert when I started high school. But I learned that if I wanted to get anywhere in life I needed to speak up. I have a very introverted kid who has figured this out as well. Think about the Ferris Bueller quote about life passing you by. I know it isn't easy. But there have to be one or two teachers he feels comfortable with. If he can't do this he is going to get trampled at a competitive school so perhaps he is better off anyway at a school that is less dependent on recommendations. Not being a jerk. Being realistic.[/quote]
